| Turkeys |
The Turk and I headed to Cade's Cove, an area in the western part of the Smokey Mountain National Park. It used to be inhabited by over 700 people in the 1860's but many left in the later 1800's and then when the park was formed in the 1930's, all were gone.
Left behind are their farms and a number of log cabins and structures used by the community. And an active group of animals who like to show off for the tourists. They strut around and stroll in front of cars as often as they can. And we humans apparently love it.

Another scenic hike - this time a 5 mile round trip hike to Abrams Falls. And this time, there was enough water falling over the edge to be a real falls. Much of the trail was along the river which made a nice hike. Then we crossed the crest of the mountain and the sides of the trail was now bordered with wild flowers.
There were 4 or 5 bridges to cross. Each one was a log cut in half long ways so you could walk on it. For my needs, they added a hand rail.
